People often measure their richness by measuring the money they have. But people of new rich category measure the richness by measuring money as well as time and mobility they have.

According to the author, there is no need to work as a slave for 40 years to live like a millionaire in your 60’s. You can become a member of new rich in your 30’s also. There are some strategies and steps to follow which can be described by one term named as DEAL.
